The Greatest: My Own Story
by: Muhammad Ali
Definitely one of the best autobiographies I ever read. This dude was a modern day Superhero. Very few books
have changed my way of thinking or been more revealing than what I anticipated but this was one.
Not to make this about me, but His way of speaking was captivating to me b/c I can't do it and yet he seemed to do it with such ease. Brilliant
Ali:
-Spoke on behalf of other countries
-Promoted himself
-Survived shootouts on a lone ranch set up to assassinate him
-Survived racist chain gang fights in Kentucky when it was 12 whites against just him and his boy.
-Traveled the world to learn more about Islam and meet with other leaders to organize help for black Americans
-Constantly in the Community
-The quickest witted intelligent/bold/charismatic/unapologetic black man I have ever seen or read of.
-Gave back to the community
-A poet, An activist, businessman, entertainer, champion
-Willing to let all his sponsors go due to his Integrity, faith and belief
-Lost career and titles for 6 years due to the racist USA sentencing him to prison
-Went publicly constantly on tv interviews to educate/debate white scholars and won.
-Saved a man from committing suicide
-Held fights internationally in Zaire, Africa and in Manila to help raise money for those lands
-Came to eventually be a good businessman
-Wrote his story of his frame of mind, private conversations with Presidents, and experiences in life.
-Won against the world's greatest boxers
-Boxed (simply put, boxing is known to be one of the absolute most physically demanding sports of any)
-A fighter who stood for peace

I think there's going to be multiple eulogies given actually, so it's possible Bill offered, but doesn't really matter. Anyone willing to speak on behalf of someone who has passed should do so.
That said.......we all know this eulogy will have a political slant and language inserted for campaign purposes. Would hate for that crap to overshadow's Ali's final fairwell.

I doubt they will saturate a eulogy with political overtones any stronger than what Ali himself said/wanted..
Michelle Obama spoke at Maya Angelou funeral and there were no strong political overtones with that..

True, but Michelle wasn't actively campaigning in a presidential race at the time. I hope I'm wrong about Bill, because he has and can give great eulogies.

The man had an entire stadium in Africa chanting "Ali Bomaye! Ali Bomaye!" and that wasn't even close to his greatest achievement.
I wouldn't say its not sad to see him go, but he accomplished so much and lived such a life, you're happy to just know there are human beings like him on earth. You're so sad, you almost feel happy in weird way, because you know the impact he had on the planet was so powerful in a positive way.
I watched some of his old fights on ESPN Classic today, and I know he may have taken things too far with Joe Frazier when it came to talking shit, but their third fight was an absolute WAR. Incredible fight. And these are guys that did this all, unquestionably, without PEDs.
